Well, it isn't unanimous but Redan wins in a landslide! Get ready for the first ever ADGO Summer Event at Redan on Sunday, July 19!!!More details to come but there will be free food and beverages for all current ADGO members and plenty of disc golf action. Mark it on your calendar! Sunday, July 19!!!!!!!!!!!

Redan on July 19th looks like the clear winner for the ADGO summer event...so what should the format be? these are the options that came to mind - if you have others suggest them and i'll edit the poll.

superclass = new form of disc golf using ultimate-like superclass discs....you can't throw them as far, so playing field more even & shorter courses are much harder. zeypher is the farthest throwing superclass disc.

I was not too keen on the superclass idea for this event and this is the reason why.

Not sure why the options were offered but if we do regular singles or doubles first, then for the second round people who have the discs for superclass can play it while the others can play a second round of disc golf, hangout, or leave...........

that sounds like a good format. assuming the poll finishes as it stands, we could run the doubles round first, then the superclass 2nd....and whoever didn't want to play superclass could play reg doubles/singles/drink/leave/chill. the optimal redan setup for superclass would be to put the shorter holes in the shorter positions so they are reachable, and the longer holes in the longer positions so they are par 4's....not sure if it makes more sense to move before or after the 1st round.

ADGO doesn't have any superclass discs, although that would have been a good idea in hindsight. hopefully the local vendors have some....you only need one and not like they cost much...DX zeyphers online are $7-$8

right now in 25 votes there are 22 for some form of superclass, 3 for no superclass...so looks like the vast majority want to try it out.

John,I spoke with Grease on Sunday (@ Sandy Creek). He currently is not stocking any supersize discs.

Some of those same discs are APPROVED for Superclass, you need to check the list. Like the Discraft Ultra-Star, the most popular Ultimate disc, and I believe the official disc for most Ultimate leagues.

Not really as much of a burden as people might think.I have two of these that are extra if someone wants to throw them, and I am sure that those ultimate stars such as Woody and others have extras as well. People dont have to spend an extra $8 to play and have a good time.... unless people just wanna bitch, because it's easier than understanding.

WHY???

I had already taken out all the posts that don't apply anymore, so it wouldn't have any non pertinant information in it, becuase a non-member had asked about it and couldn't "SEE" any info about it where it was.

Now that a course and a date have been decided, would anyone like to post a start time and format? I would guess 10am teeoff for doubles but I'm not sure after reading this thread twice. Also, I would like to know if my wife and I are current.

I agree with Carl.....doubles only for me....superclass is good but why do we have to play it for our ADGO event. Sounds dumb to me since $ is the #1 ranked superclass player in the world in a format designed for old farts....im just saying

"Though no one can go back in time and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."

I have little interest as well in throwing lids at Redan, Moose. So, if anyone else wants to devote the morning to Disc Golf while waiting for lunch, I have an option. With enough interest, I'll even provide a full explanation of...

Moose,

A poll was conducted (on this thread I think, but I no longer see it) asking ADGO members to vote on the DG formats they wanted for the ADGO event. As I recall, the Super Class format got a majority of votes. If you read back up this thread, you will find numerous references to Super Class being played.Playing one round here gives ADGO members a chance to try out Super Class without having to commit to playing in a Super Class tournament.

i think i killed the poll by combining the two threads....but the results were overwhelmingly pro-superclass. it was like 24 of 27 votes cast were for one of the superclass options.

Sounds like a lot of people are scared to play superclass because they are afraid of $$ embarrassing them ... just FYI, although he came up with the layout, he will be playing in North Carolina... so he won't be there to spoil your fun

How many of the people who voted have these "superclass" discs? I am in for anything other than superclass as I have no "superclass" discs. Works would be better if only a small # of people play. Otherwise it should be doubles. Superclass, I got a bunch of petsmart doggie discs lets paly with those.

I have 3 of them and was planning on buying a few more since it is really fun. If you don't like the idea of Superclass, don't play.... but still hang for some food & doubles

Sounds to me like $$ is a bit skeered to play and ran 2 states away so he won't get embarassed. Tounrey in NC? right - we all know the real truth. I didn't even know the had disc golf in NC.

Speakin' the vernacular of the peasantry. Poor little kid, I hope she gets home all right....Professor Marvel

Super time with the big lids. Should've scored better but those things are just too big for the basket. Hope everyone had fun during dubs! Wished I could've stayed. Thanks for the club putting this on. When and where is the next one??

Good party yesterday! 27 for Superclass and 30 for dubs and who knows how many people we fed! Thanks to everyone who helped out yesterday either donating their time, energy, CTP prizes or just giving Cash. Atlanta golfers have got to be the most generous in the world! $520 raised for the Cliff Rickel fund in one day! All i can say is WOW!
